Didn’t have Kleenex’s for a day but otherwise great, we have water pressure that I have never felt before. Food was not half off. Breakfast was okay for 2-5 day stay but not longer than that. No cereal. Nice fire pit and pool. Rode the bikes once but cannot after sundown typically.

Convenient location just off the highway. Within walking distance to restaurants and a nice public park with a playground. The ventilation in the rooms could be improved. We often cracked the door open for fresh air.

I was disappointed with how the room was described on hotels.com website vs. the reality of it.
We couldn’t sleep because of the brightness of that little alarm clock.  Also, it’s the only outlet that’s accessible for the room.
There are only black out curtains.  So if you were to open them, the rest of the world can see right into your room.
A view of the small bathroom vanity and only “makeshift closet”.
The space between the fridge and dresser is the only space that you’re able to put your luggage and the view to the bathroom vanity.
